The mongoose will be in Reach. Pelicans too, but if you ever fly them, it will be a campaign only thing.
why campaign mode only? it could just be like a flying spectre (in the programming sense) see This poll, a new map concept.
Simply put, its pretty much impossible to balance for multiplayer.
Have you ever tried to dodge a flying wall of metal intent on splattering you across the map? Go play forge with a friend, have him spawn a scorpion tank and hold it, and try to survive for five minutes in the open as your friend swings the scorpion tank around trying to splatter you with it.
Why do you think that a phantom / pelican will be any different? Nobody will use it for transport. It will just be like the hornet, but even more invincible, and people are talking about putting heavy chainguns and rockets on it?
It doesn't make sense from a strategy standpoint either, because there is no reason why you should put all of your eggs in one basket when attacking the enemy. You don't need a vehicle that can carry your entire team.
This is why I feel that if you are going to be able to fly a pelican, its going to be a campaign mission, where you don't neccesarily need to worry if the computers get their rears handed to them.
well if you dont like it why dont you go and have fun splattering yourself with a scorpion tank??
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT FORGE
WE"RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLAYER
besides anyone who knows anything knows how to destroy a phantom...unless of course you dont
